Despite the years and years of our experience with the English language, we tend to make mistakes when it comes to the very basic rules. But not anymore, as here is all that you need to know about the correct usage of ‘I’, ‘ME’ and ‘MYSELF’.

‘I’ is used to address the doer of the verb or to explain a state of being(something or someone). For example:-

INCORRECT: Sheena and me are going to a party tonight.CORRECT: Sheena and I are going to a party tonight.
(शीना और मैं आज रात एक पार्टी में जा रहे हैं।)

INCORRECT: This is for you and I.CORRECT: This is for you and me.
(यह तुम्हारे और मेरे लिए है।)

HINT: when there are more than two subjects or objects, exclude the other person from the sentence and it’ll be clear.For example, in the sentence – this is for you and I, omit the ‘you’ and repeat it. You’ll never be tempted to say ‘this is for I’ = ‘यह मैं के लिए है’।जैसे ही आप ऐसा करते हैं, आप समझ जाएंगे कि यह गलत हैं और आपको I की जगह ME का प्रयोग करना है।

While using ‘myself’, it’s important to use ‘I’ in the same sentence as it clarifies that the main subject pronoun i.e. doer of the sentence is ‘I’ and the word ‘myself’ is just reflecting the action upon subject ‘I’.
For example:

सही guess किया, I’m talking about the famous ‘MYSELF’.Friends, I’m disheartened to inform you that the very first English lesson in our lives was WRONG! Yes, you heard it right, You Should Never Use ‘Myself’ To Introduce Yourself!

Myself Amit = INCORRECTI am Amit = CORRECTAlso, do not use myself as a substitute for I or me.For instance, don’t say:

• She saw myself in the mall. (incorrect)• She saw me in the mall. (correct)(उसने मुझे मॉल में देखा था।)

• John and myself are going on a trip. (incorrect)• John and I are going on a trip. (correct)जॉन और मैं एक यात्रा पर जा रहे हैं।
